Over the last few days, artists across the globe have been posting 24-Hour Comics Day updates and links to their comics on Twitter! It’s a wonderful opportunity to see some of the 24HCD comics and to be part of events everywhere.
Congratulations to the artists who finished up yesterday! We’re in the final hours of many 24HCD events which started Saturday afternoon. You can do it, superstars!
Hour 20.
Officially, we just finished our 24 HOUR COMICS DAY in Madeira Island @ 10:00 AM.
After gathering all the comics drawn and statistical information we concluded the following:
– This year we had 43 participants, 20 male, 23 female
– Of these 43, only 6 created a 24-page comic in 24 hours
– All contestants created 318 pages during these 24 hours, some of them with outstanding quality – and using several sizes and techniques: from watercolors to pencils and india ink. Colored comics, Grayscale, Black and White, Collage – with several themes, from romance to philosophy.
Everyone enjoyed the event, and here is a photo of the “survivors” that were present at 10:00 AM today, when we wrapped up the event. Such a wonderful crowd!
We hope to do an exhibition later this year, showcasing all the artwork created during this event!
Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Lots of hugs to all of you from Madeira Island!
